You also said the Knicks have the best defense in the league on multiple occassions so...

But really I don't care much about this season since we really have no business competing with top teams. I just like giving you a hard time bbd, especially when we end up going further than you in the playoffs...

I stand corrected. 2nd best D.

But don't worry. We're gonna stomp you out in the playoffs. Can't wait.

Im just glad to see Lin score more then 10 points in a game. I didnt expect a win since we were playing one of the top teams and without Harden, but good to see someone step up and make it interesting.

They both need the ball in their hands. That's the problem. Harden can play off the ball some, but he's been a ball stopper this season.

And Lin needs to pick and roll with a big. That's his bread and butter.

Yeah, that's what I've been saying to my friend. Both players need the ball in their hands to be successful. Lin's game is all about creating off the dribble and attacking the basket, and he's really good at it.

When him and Harden both play, Harden holds the ball for almost the entire shot clock and then goes to work which pretty much negates what Lin's good at. Harden needs to play off the ball more if the Rockets want to be successful because Lin can't play off the ball at all.

I don't know why this is surprising everyone, Harden has always been a ball stopper. That's what he does. When it works, he does what he did against the Spurs last WCF. When it doesn't, he's embarrassed like he was against the Heat in the finals and for the better part of this season.

Given that the Raptors also lost to a team that played Sasha Pavolic, Victor Claver, Nolan Smith, and Luke Babbitt big minutes tonight by 20 despite Portland going 0-20 from three I'd say Toronto has taken total control of the title of most embarrassing team in the league.

They also let John Salmons drop 7 dimes on them a couple nights ago... That's embarrassing too.

Just because I want to pretend the Kings could be good any time in the next decade...

I know there's like a 20% chance we keep him past this season, but i'm really looking forward to see Tyreke get a fresh start somewhere, hopefully with a contending team. I really feel like with proper coaching (someone can fix that awful jumpshot), he can be a better James Harden. He can still get to the rack as good as anyone in the league.

The other big part his game would be the ability to go left. The league knows he isn't comfortable going left so they cheat hard to his right.

I agree, I've always been a fan of his game and I like that comparison. Any good fits out there for him on playoff teams?
